Menu 
I am studying how made skinn.
I noticed that the menu navigation is sometimes called "MENU" other "SOLPARTEMENU" others "NAV".
I do not understand if this is the same object can have different names, or if they are different objects.
I think they are different objects.
If so, depending on what do I decide when to use one or the other and then where can I find the attributes of each of these items?
Thank you for your reply.

I THINK they are inteneded to be different.  If you get virtual web developer, and the starter kits, it begins to make more sense.  There are different menu providers for all, but I think they can be overridden somehow.  Either way, they are all hard to configure if you want to get down to the nitty gritty designing, but powerful I hear.  I had too much trouble working with them, so I switched to HouseMenu which so far has been pretty slick and more SEO I guess, cause it actually lists the menu in an unsorted list, and it's easier to format.

Anyhow long story short, yes they are different from what I understand.

Let me know if you want some more specific info on each.  the NAV provier is documented somehwere on here(check the blogs I think), and the solpart is explained well in the doc from the downloads section.

They are different objects.  As is [TREEVIEW].  Documentation can be found in the documentation file as well as here in the forums.  Alos check Google, as well as various other sites which have skinning information for DNN.
